lyrics

OLD MAN SUICIDE

Listen well
To this story I will tell
Story ‘bout an old man suicide
Shotgun in the head
Every life comes to an end
Sometime

Sunday mornin’
Cup of coffee in the hand
Lookin at the red October trees
His wife still sleepin’ upstairs
In this room they have shared
For years & years

If you haven’t heard the news
Then listen to my blues
You will hear ‘bout the old man suicide
He could have died of disease
Would have we shed more tears
And what does it change for us now


Hear this song
‘bout one who did not belong
in this life no more
Another man passed away
We’ll all have to die someday
And that’s for sure

Call on the telephone
Beggin’ anyone to come
Lyin’ ‘bout the reason why
“see you right now” he said and hung up
Then he just washed up his cup
And went to his tool shed in the backyard

Not a word of goodbye
Not an explanation why
He has come to such a violent endin’
But his decision was made up
And there ain’t nothin to stop
Death leadin’ its gloomy dancin’


Dead & gone
Pulled the trigger and iy was done
Lyin’ under the grey October sky
Did someone know he had a gun
Did anybody see it comin’
The old man suicide
